Buster Oleny just did an article about Carl Crawford where hd discussed a "hitch" in Carl's step. <br /><br />http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=4913539&name=olney_buster <br /><br />I belive that if Aybar does have the speed - then he could probably sit down with video and make some mechanical changes. Of course, that is only one part of the process - the others is to identify the correct time and place to steal (game situation, pitcher's moves, catchers arms, etc. etc.).<br /><br />With all that - I do look for some improvement in Aybars success rate - a jump from 66% - 75% or even 80% I think is realistic (if he puts in the time) and would help his overall offensive worth.<br /><br />Heck, if Abrau can do it Aybar should be able to as well!!!<br /><br />JeffreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
